Wild Update!

-
Just a quick moment to share with you today . . . in follow-up from my "Born to Be Wild" post earlier this week.

After sharing my secret with so many of my dear blog friends, I've been feeling (in my heart) like I AM that biker chick on my drawing . . .

It's as if just putting the idea out there in the universe was almost enough for me to actually FEEL like the biker girl.

So, this afternoon, as I drove home from running a few errands, I came to a 4-way stop at the same time two bikers guys did. And I did what ANY biker person would do . . .

I waved. Excessively.

Except, my wave was kind of like a really dorky, "HI DUDES!!! IT'S ME  . . . . THE WANNA BE BIKER GIRL . . . REMEMBER ME??? HIIII!!!!!!"

Yeah. That was me.

Remember when I wrote over the weekend about things happening in slow motion? Well, I swear at that moment, I was on my HARLEY. I WAS COOL. I was waving . . . to.the.biker.men.

And, I was really driving my Honda Odyssey Mini-van.

And the biker guys . . . . well . . . they didn't wave back.

Biker guys are such jerks.

Still cool. But jerks.

;)

    Keep waving and those bikers will soon recognize the crazy lady in the van and start waving back!

    Pretty sure they were just in awe of you and your awesome biker-ness. Dumbfounded, or something like that.

    My guess is that they have been trying to unleash their inner mini-van owners and were speechless with envy.

    There's nothing wrong with an enthusiastic wave. Positive energy is always a benefit. :)

    I bet they were trying to figure out whose wife you were. Live the dream! Rent a bike for a Saturday afternoon to take a lesson. Local Harley dealers usually offer rentals and lessons. Go for it!

    maybe if your mom mobile was an SUV instead of a minivan, they would have at least tipped their hats. :)

    Biker guys have a secret wave. They acknowledge each other with a down low hand gesture. They not only give the down low to other bikers, but to scooter riders as well. I guess mini vans are not part of the two wheel club.

    If they only knew your secret passion!

    Yup. You are a dork. Or maybe the biker guys were just dorks?

    I dream of riding a big bike some day. I love the freedom of the idea. But I've never heard of biker snobs before.

My Dream Home Smash Book

Have you ever heard of a Smash Book? If you are a scrapbooker or art journal person, you may have. If you are not one of those types, you may not have. I am a scrapbooker . . . but had no idea what a Smash Book was. That is, until my dear friend Peggy brought hers to our Scrapbook Cellar gathering last month. She introduced us all to her cool little composition journal, and the conversation went something like this: PK :  Here is my Smash book. Me : Your what? PK : My Smash Book. Me : Like, smash, what? PK : Smash . . . things. You know. Like, stuff. Me : What? PK : See . . . I will put stuff in here. Junk. Things I don't want to lose, but don't know what to do with. Me : Huh? PK : Smash. Me : I don't get it. PK : Google it. CE (our friend, Cindi, who just entered the conversation and saw was PK was holding): Oh, a Smash Book! Cool! Me : Huh? CE : Google it. LT (my sister, Laura, who is right there with me): I don't get it. So, I googled it. ...

Any Day Now . . .

Any day now . . . Any day now . . . we will see you in all your glory, and the memory of past Springs will become our reality once again.  Any day now . . . I will walk passed you and be reminded of that scene in "Willie Wonka" . . . Gene Wilder as "Willie Wonka" image obtained from Google Image Search. Original site unknown. . . . when Gene Wilder drinks something (that I like to imagine is the sweetest, butteriest, most amazing thing) from a buttercup, and I'll wish just once I could do the same with you. Any day now . . . I will turn the corner of our block and find you waiting for me with your petals wide open, as if wanting to give me a Spring hug, and your scent will make me feel as if the heavens have opened up and sprinkled sweet smells over us all. Any day now . . . can't come soon enough.

Howdy Friends!!! Hope this post finds you all doing well! As part of my blog series "100 Things to Do with Grapes"  (STOP - wait a minute .... are you kidding me??? I don't have a blog series about grapes!!! Oh - but just imagine if I did!!!), I just had to share with you one of my very all time favorite summer treats . . .  Ok, are you even slightly interested? Hang in there with me, ok? Because this easy, summer "yum" is bound to be a favorite of YOURS!!!! That is . . . unless you have a peanut allergy. If you have a peanut allergy, I would STRONGLY ADVISE AGAINST making this treat. (Come back Monday for another more appropriate post for you.) If you DON'T have peanut allergy . . . run to the store RIGHT NOW and pick up these three things . . . Seriously . . . it only takes these three things; green grapes, lightly salted dry roasted peanuts, and a bag of white chips. Seriously . . . that is all! So, how do you make these awesome snackies?...
